Walk Behind Controls...Pistol vs. Others

what are personal preferences on WB controls? i mean there are pistol, t-bar, t2 t-bar, semi-pistol, etc...my QUESTION is do other methods, considering i own a pistol grip, give you as much control? i know when my JD 48" hydro starts slipping on a hill i can put some weight on the handle bars and gain control, it just doesn't seem like you can do that with t-bars and other methods while it is still moving forward...

I have the T-Bar and Pistols. Both have there place in the business. I favor the pistols because it allows me to man handle the equipment when necessary. The T-Bar is smooth as silk when cutting a lawn with large paths and flowing flower beds.

I comes down to a matter of choice!

The T-2 Bar is really nice. The H-Bar is also a good control system. I however haven't ever used a pistol grip. Truth is, I started with a T-bar gear and the few times I tried a pistol grip, I hated it (hard on your hands, takes more time to learn how to run, etc). So I've always gone with something else.
The H-Bar you can easily put pressure down on the wheels. T2-Bar is a little harder, but it can still be done.

You have to use your forearms with the T2, yes I would imagine its harder, but its all I have ever used. As far as easy of use I cannot imagine controls easier to use then the T2. And with as much as the 40" T2 weights I have yet to see a hill it wouldnt stick to

I started with pistol grips so I have gotten used to them but I have to say I tried a t2 t bar last year and I really liked it. I do like the pistols best when going across hills. They help maintain traction because you can shift your wait to the slipping wheel.
